Biden projected to win New Hampshire and New Mexico
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has been projected to pick up wins in New Hampshire and New Mexico.
The former vice president was projected by ABC News and CNN to win New Hampshire and its four electoral votes. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won that state in 2016, but by less than one percentage point. With 38 percent of vote counted, Biden is leading in New Hampshire with about 54 percent of the vote, according to The New York Times.
Additionally, Biden will win New Mexico and its five electoral votes, CNN and the AP projected. Hillary Clinton previously won the state in 2016.
